As the Rebbe of the Skver Chassidim encouraged prayers to ‘redeem’ Shaul Spitzer from his pending sentence, one can only wonder what message the Rabbi now gives to his people. The Rabbi also told his flock that with prayers, charity, and repentance, “Spitzer will not sit”. Okay then, it seems like Spitzer will have to stand now for the next seven years.

CRIME DOES NOT PAY, even if your Rabbi promises you the plasures of the world to come.
